If you read all the comments on this page you could have known I
visited Koln (cologne) this weekend. We visited the DOM factory and a
meeting organized by Ssdev. The weekend was wonderful. Maybe I will
write something about it one of these days. It was nice to meet my
friends again and exchange information with knowledgeable people.
One person I met was André. He visited this page and went to the
junkyard to collect some car locks. In particularly Opel locks in
order to test the 13 song’s tool I bought in Las Vegas.
To make a long story short: the tool works. The lock he brought could be
picked in minutes. Click the image to see a video of the tool in action.

Accidentally André also owns an Opel. The lock in his car offered more
resistance and did not open at all. We think it might have to do with
jagged edges on the newer models wafers. These edges act like mushroom
or spoolpins in an ordinary lock. Once they hook you get the false
impression the lever is set. Clemens from Ssdev sportgroup Moers
figured out the 13 song’s tool is not 100% perfect either. The problem
with it is that you can only push levers up, not down! If you overlift
a lever the only way to push it down (or drop it) is by fully releasing tension.
Combined with the latest generation jagged edged levers this might cause problems.
Depending on your point of view of course ….
I will have to practise some more. Anyone has an Opel I could borrow?
Another great video demonstration Barry. The 13 song’s tool seems like a really well make tool. Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
great video thanks for sharing
I sent you an email but I think it was deleted so here I go again.
I’m a locksmith and today I attended an automotive seminar and they demonstrated the 13 song;s tool. All attendees were fascinated. Can you provide contact information for this company, thank you
A very interesting tool. What year Opel did the locks come from that the tool was successful with, and which years were not successful?
I repair BMWs. I would be interested in know how well 13song’s BMW tool works, and on which models/years.
I watched the video and i was impressed i\’ve picked a couple of wafer locks but not that easy I\’m going to get one.
Dear Sir,
A very happy new year to all of you.
I am an auto lock smith in Uk. If i want to buy some lockpick and decoders from you, then would you be able to ship me in UK.
Best regards,
Raja

Mr. Tariq Raja: We do not sell tools online. So the answer is no 😉
